Team Canada just confirmed they will add NHL player currently playing in Switzerland.
Brad Pascall said, all of the players confirmed that they will play for Canada. That should be a really stacked team:

Seguin
Spezza
Tavares
Ennis
Laich
Bergeron
Spurgeon
Couture

Zetterberg might play for Davos along with Rick Nash and Joe Thornton.

In 2004 Team Canada didn't reach the finals. Instead they finished third in group stage and actually beat HC Davos after penalties (read here). But the roster was without lockout players such as Heatly or Briere.

Pat Brisson called Team Canada coach Doug Shedden about Crosby at the Spengler Cup. Crosby wants to play for Team Canada. Only problem (as always): He has to pay his insurance by himself. All the other players got european contracts and are insured through their team. Crosby hasn't signed in Europe (yet?) and would have to pay his insurance.

Wow! Spengler Cup here I come! Davos is the place to be this Christmas. It could very well be true, as Crosby does want to play somewhere after the Christmas break and the Spengler Cup would be a great place to start as I guess he'll play somewhere in Switzerland in January.

Excuse my ignorance, but why are Canadian players suiting up for other countries?

Other clubs you mean and we are talking about just Nash, Thornton and Desharnais right? Nash and Thornton play for Davos and they dont lend out their players, they keep them and add reinforcements (Kane, Diaz, Brunner) to make themselves a little better. Desharnais plays for Fribourg who is also in the tournament, no reason to lend him to Canada either.

Canada gets players from the remaining NLA clubs who are not in the tournament and sometimes the AHL. In this case, the locked out players still in North America if they wish to join. Seguin, Spezza, Tavares and the others, if they wish to stay in Europe will play for Canada.
